Title: Adaptive wireless communication for a hearing device
Inventor: ULLIRICH SIGWANZ
IPC: H04W88/06
Filed: 2018-12-12
Abstract: A hearing device and a method to select a wireless scheme. The wireless scheme limits a number of wireless communication protocols for communication with the hearing device or reduces a number of wireless communication devices configured to communicate with the hearing device. The settings of the hearing device can be adjusted proactively (e.g., based on a present or future context of the hearing device user) and/or reactively (e.g., an input or selection from a hearing device user or audiologist). The hearing device may be a hearing aid or a device part of a cochlear implant. The wireless scheme can be a car driving profile, which causes the hearing device to only communicate with a car electric system or a mobile device but not both, or may prevent the hearing device from receiving audio, notifications, or telephone data from the mobile device. The communication protocols may include Bluetooth Basic Rate / Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), propriety or streaming protocols. The limiting may reduce power consumption, improve streaming quality or reduce testing time.

Title: Decomposition method and apparatus based on basis material combination
Inventor: LIANG LI
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: Decomposition coefficients and an equivalent atomic number are obtained for each point of a scanned object (step 100). The object is divided into regions according to equivalent atomic number (110). Basis material combinations used differ between regions. In each region, decomposition coefficients are determined for each point based on the basis material combination for that region (120). In each region, equivalent atomic numbers are determined for all points in the region, based on the determined decomposition coefficients and atomic information of all basis materials in the combination for that region, if a change in decomposition coefficient based on the decomposition coefficients of all points in all regions is not less than a threshold (130). Division into regions, and calculation of decomposition coefficients and equivalent atomic numbers are repeated until the change in decomposition coefficient is less than a threshold (140).

Title: Organic thin film transistor gas sensor system
Inventor: PASCAL CACHELIN
IPC: H01L51/05
Filed: 2019-02-20
Abstract: A gas sensor system for a conjugated hydrocarbon (eg styrene) has first and second OTFT gas sensors, each having source and drain electrodes 107, 109 in contact with organic semiconductor layer 111, gate electrode 103, and gate dielectric 105 between the gate and the semiconductor layer.

The first organic semiconductor layer may be crystalline; the second organic semiconductor layer may be amorphous. Blocking layer 113, perhaps a thiol monolayer, may be disposed on source and drain electrode surfaces. In aspects, an OTFT gas sensor for a conjugated hydrocarbon is configured as the first OTFT; or an OTFT gas sensor for an ester is configured as the second OTFT except that environmental gases are blocked from communicating with source and drain.

Title: Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a video bitstream for merging regions of interest
Inventor: NAËL OUEDRAOGO
IPC: H04N19/88
Filed: 2019-03-12
Abstract: Encoding and decoding video data comprising frames into a bitstream of logical units, where the frames are spatially divided into frame portions, and the frame portions are grouped. A filter parameter set applying to samples of a group of frame portions is determined, a first identification information of the determined filter parameter set is determined, and a second identification information associated with an index of the group of frame portions is determined. A filter parameter set identifier is determined based on the first and second identification information. The bitstream has a first, a second, and an additional logical unit. The first logical unit is a group of frame portions. The second logical unit has the filter parameter set for the group of frame portions and the filter parameter set identifier associated with the index of the group of frame portions. The additional logical unit has the association between the index of the group of frame portions and the second identification information. The present invention solves the APS identifier collision problem when merging tile groups from different bitstreams without amending the tile group structure by introducing second identification information associated to each tile group in a parameter set of the bitstream.
